I just received my login info for GMU. For some reason, they have my 'perm. state' listed as VA, but my 'residency' listed as 'out-of-state'. Has this happened to any other VA residents? I did submit the application for in-state tuition separately. Is that simply my residency status until my in-state application is approved?

@ Komaliie - Apparently it is for internal use only. You can disregard that date.

I had to the same issue. It not says in-state. Apparently there is some lag with the in-state application. Good luck.

Same. It changed to in-state a couple of days later. Just give them some time to process your form.

with a 160 and 3.6 Mason is definitely a BIG reach for me, but I really like their concentration in economics (Im an econ major) and their conservative leaning. Hoping for a miracle since statistically its not look real good for me...

I have the same status. From what I can tell, they make phone calls for acceptances, emails for rejections and mail for waitlists I think. I'm assuming that if there isn't a phone call this afternoon that it will be bad news.

GL to the rest of you!

That was a really quick turnaround! I applied 11/30 and thought there was no chance I'd hear from anyone before Christmas. I hope I hear back (either way) as soon as you did. Can you PM me your numbers?

For some reason status checker still has my file as incomplete. Does GMU wait for the paper app to get there like some other schools? I can't think of any other reason it would be incomplete.

Hurricane!!!! I read your post, checked my e-mail, and FREAKED out when I saw an e-mail from George Mason. LOLAcccepted via E-MAIL, no phone call.

on another note, do you think there is any significance for not getting a phone call? The e-mail was personalized though.....What do you guys think?

LOL my bad. From LSN and this thread, it seems that everyone who has been accepted got a phone call and all the e-mails were rejections. I've still heard nothing despite my status saying a decision was made today. Starting to think that a waitlist letter might be in the mail, which might not be the worst thing ever but the wait is killing me.

That is odd. I can't think of a reason they'd do that.

I already got into a superior school (W&M) with $$$, so I don't care much. I'm just hoping this was a reflection of YP and not something wrong with my application.

Definitely YP. GL @ W&M.

I called Dean Price (anonymously), and she said that GMU's scholarship budget is so low, if she feels an applicant will likely not attend, she waitlists them. If she's "sure" they won't attend, she rejects them. I have to give her a lot of credit though, she was very candid and did offer to set up a time with me to go over my application to tell me why I was specifically rejected (but I already know...).
